The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is the third album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released in 1987 through EMI America. This is the first, and last studio album that featured the original members of the band formed in 1983 - Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Hillel Slovak, and Jack Irons. Hillel Slovak soon died of a heroin overdose, resulting in Jack Irons quitting the band. It is considered by some to be the band's best album.
"Fight Like a Brave" was featured in 2001's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 video game.

[edit] Miscellanea
- 'Me & My Friends's official title is 'Me and My Friends'.[1]
- 'Fight Like a Brave' is one of several songs showing Anthony's interest in his (partial) Native American heritage.
- Several of the Red Hot Chili Peppers themselves and critics have often complained about the sound of Jack Irons's drums on the recording. "The only thing that is lame about it is those stupid triggered drum sounds that rob them of their dynamics" - Flea
